The Tales of Arise plushes depict the six main party members. They all have small smiles on their faces, and the details of their clothing are clear despite the characters appearing as chibis. More complicated elements, such as Alphen and Kisara’s armor, are drawn onto the fabric rather than being made up of separate pieces of felt. Technically speaking, these toys are “nui-doll,” which means that it is a mix between a doll and a plush. While they are soft like a normal plushie, you can move their limbs and pose them in various ways.
Tales of Arise released worldwide in September 2021. It follows the story of Alphen, who has lost his memories, and a mysterious Renan woman named Shionne. Other members of the cast include the wildly popular Dohalim (who topped the official Tales of popularity poll from Bandai Namco) and the Dahnan mage Rinwell. For those curious about the game, ufotable released an Introduction Animation in late January 2022.
Kotobukiya will release the six Tales of Arise plushes in April 2022. There is no news as to whether they will be available internationally via Kotobukiya.
